Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ask any American Indian about that one.
I was trying to work out what to call a "Canadian Indian" over here. In Montreal, it was pretty simple: First Peoples. But no one here gets that. "American Indian" is twitchy, "Native American" still makes it sound like a USian thing. Short of going straight to Ojibwe, I wasn't sure what to say. He, BTW, just called himself "Indian" but I can't be sure how much he was joshing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I haven't found anything via Google about "Imposter Complex" aside from people bitching that they have it.

Is this real? A reality series about women in a bookclub?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
ita, I have heard from some such people who prefer the term "American Indian" because that was the term used in the treaties with the US government, and they wanted those treaties honored. That is more or less the extent of my experience.
I do wonder that "First Peoples" hasn't caught on at all in the States.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I've been rather insistent, but not getting a lot of reaction. Which is usual.
Document, document, document. Also think about how head-achey and/or sight-impaired you are willing to get before you go to OSHA, then let your boss know that, too.
Sorry if that comes across as too strident, but this issue is one of my hot buttons.

But Canadian First Peoples didn't have treaties with the US government. So what does one call them here, where First Peoples just creates confusion?

Oh, I found it under Imposter Syndrome. I love how many complexes and syndromes are all made up to describe "neurotic."
But hey! It looks like according to Caltech, extraodinarily gifted people tend to suffer from "imposter syndrome."
WhatEV.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I get the sense it's like that OC Housewives show, but these women have the bookclub in common. And in Scottsdale.

Oh, this isn't a case of needing advice or pushing. I'm whining here because as with everything here, it's going to take for-fucking-ever. And that's with one of the staff sharing my office (he's been out all week, or I'd be wheedling favors.) I've had a computer up and die in the middle of critical tasks and had my division director yelling at people and it still took forever.
